Salmon arrived. Bait fish in thick columns, birds on top and salmon underneath. Limited in under 4 hours with fish in the 15 to 20 pound range. Finally I get to use the boat for my intended use. After I bought the boat our salmon fishing was regulated out while the fish were in a recovery...

Its time to get the motors fluids changed for the season. I have honda 50's and can not locate honda products in town. I have to drive 80 miles to a dealer. What would you recommend for fluids if your not using the motors name brand products. We have sierra oils and filter here at the...

Last summer I posted a story about an offshore event in high wind and had horrible bow steering problems. On Saturday it was 20 ft swell and I went to Whalers to check out the surf and I saw a friend. We witnessed a 70ft commercial boat enter the harbor in the 20 foot conditions. We saw the...

I have a chance to buy an indicator for my trim tabs for $50. The local dealer is getting rid of slow moving inventory. It is a bennett product that retails for $236. I have the bennett sport tabs on my hull. Would you do it? For those of you who have them is it informative and useful or...

I took a high school friend and his buddy and my friend a pro camera guy out for some fishing and picture opts yesterday. Weather was a little breezy offshore but not to bad. Friend got sick, so I took him in and then went back out to fish. Bite was slow so we took off for reefs north of town...

I got up to 24.7 knots coming in the harbor and there was still more. We fished around 10 miles out of the harbor yesterday. Going out was slow for such a flat looking day. We averaged around 7 knots due to the close wind slop. Coming in we averaged around 12 to 14 knots and surfed alot of...

Most of us here have trailerable boats, which help keep costs down. I am considering a bigger boat to head west and I was wondering just how much more expensive are they to park and maintain? While underway are the costs even more or should you be completely self reliant to fix things and stay...

My first trip out this summer (I built a 16 x 18 room addition) on opening day of salmon season for us (10 days) and besides no fish at the end of the day we were swarmed by uniformed personnel at the boat ramp. No joke at least 30 uniformed officer types. Mostly coast guard, and sheriff and...

Our local paper has listed for sale a 16' c-dory 1983 with 25 yamaha for 5900 or part trade for a 12' skiff. 1 541 412-8243 Seems like a decent price for someone interested in a 16.

I went tuna fishing out of Crescent City yesterday. I meet a lot of milestones by doing so. I had full tanks when we left the dock. Full to the top, a first for me, and the boat seemed to handle the conditions better in the pond. I could go faster with less pounding. When we arrived at...

Hi all! I bet I took longer to get my new boat wet than most of you. I took delivery of my 22 angler from EQ sales on April 7. What a nice boat. Les and Kathy put up with me thru the order process (I originally was going to get the c-tug) and set up my new boat with the options I...
